Is Brett Ratner Directing Conan?

Source:  Ain't It Cool News
It appears that a reboot of a famed 80s film series may have found its new director. Ain't It Cool News has received word that Brett Ratner will be directing the reimagining of Conan.

Of course, this isn't official and hasn't been confirmed with the studio as of yet. Howard McCain and Dirk Blackman have already signed on as the screenwriters, although no cast is set yet.

We'll be sure to update you on this new story as soon as more information filters in.

I don't know about this Brett Ratner guy. Sure, he directed Rush Hour, but he also produced a movie called "Santa's Slay." Ya, it's aout a killer Santa, so I'm sure you can tell how that was.

It would be cool to see another Conan but nothing will compare to the original with Arnie,its a classic,just hope they make it right,and get the right actor to play him.

Conan: "To crush your enemies, see dem driven before you, and to hear da lamentation of der women"

agreeable other guys: "argen arg yeah, wooh, argen dargen"

any reason to kill an english teacher is a good one, apparently.

fat lot of good theyve been doing anyway, if you hear an american attempt to speak english you know that english teachers across the nation are failing.
they need to be able to beat their students, when their students speak like morons.

October 19th, 2008 4:48am
i didn't "love" X3, i thought it was ok. but he just isn't good enough to make these type of movies. it was very easyto X3 a great movie, the hard work was already done with 1 + 2 thanks to Singer. how on earth he got so much wrong with it is beyond me. but as a manic X-Men fan, i just have to like it. :)
